With John Edwards facing a federal indictment over his alleged use of campaign funds to cover up his love child scandal, new details of his affair with Rielle Hunter and the sex video they made during his White House run are coming to light.

Specifically, how pissed he is that she didn’t erase the f%*king tape!

In an amazing outburst, the disgraced politician reportedly exploded after a judge ruled portions of his testimony under oath would be made public.

Edwards reportedly put it to Rielle Hunter on tape in a hotel room in Indianapolis in 2007. She was already several months pregnant at the time. 

“John took his anger and frustrations out on Rielle,” an insider told the National Enquirer, the publication that first broke the story back in 2008.

“He screamed at Rielle, calling her a moron for not destroying the tape, and yelling that she made a fool of him for talking him into making it.”

“Rielle was in tears, and tried to apologize, but John didn’t care,” says the source. “His worst nightmare is that the tape will get on the Internet.”

We can only hope

 
The video ended up in the possession of Andrew Young, Edwards’ former aide, who says he found it in a guest room once occupied by Hunter.

Young, of course, claimed HE was the father of Hunter’s daughter Frances Quinn, helping hide Rielle and cover John’s tracks for a long stretch.

Rielle has served him with a lawsuit in a North Carolina court, calling for the John Edwards sex tape to be returned, plus monetary damages.

Edwards is scheduled to the questioned about the tape on June 20.

At the June hearing, he will again be asked a series of questions he earlier refused to answer under oath, only this time a judge will be on hand to immediately rule what’s admissable in the privacy lawsuit filed by Rielle Hunter.

At a hearing at the end of April, Superior Court Judge Carl Fox ruled that all or part of his deposition could be made public, to John’s dismay.

The revelation about what the video tape actually contains would be the final nail in the coffin for Edwards as he faces the federal indictment.

So what’s on the John Edwards-Rielle Hunter sex tape?

Andrew Young’s wife, Cheri, said recently: “I won’t give any fine details, but I’ll tell you yes, he is naked. He is performing sexual acts.”

“The woman is holding the camera. He is aware he is being taped.”

And that, folks, tells you all you need to know.
